A 26.5 million-year-old skull found in northwest China has been identified as another extinct species of giant rhino, one of the largest mammals to ever roam the land. The fossil is remarkably well-preserved, and after close analysis, scientists have named it Paraceratherium linxiaense, the sixth species of this hornless rhino genus to be uncovered in Eurasia. It’s hard to infer the exact size of the beast from its skull alone, but other Paraceratherium fossils […]
Central Asia’s largest wind power project is an example of international co-financing implemented by a Chinese construction company. Does this example provide lessons to support the green energy transition of emerging economies by mobilizing international finance? Fossil fuel production constitutes 17 percent of oil and gas rich Central Asian Kazakhstan’s GDP. Despite this Kazakhstan announced the country is planning to shift to 50 percent renewable energy by 2050. To give some perspective, in 2015, […]
